Kevin, unless you have a high compression engine, get your jetting right and C11 will be faster. Don't change your tuneup and you won't see anything.

I second that Kevin! Byron and I both used to run C11 then C12. Switched to Sunoco Blue a few years ago when dad got us on a deal with them. Now run Sunoco purple and our cars are running as fast, oh, and consistant as ever! I've beaten those in class who claim there is a difference! The only difference I see is in price!

Unless someone puts me on a better deal than we have now, I'm definitely staying with Sunoco!! I'm sure I speak for the other two in my family also!!

As far as contingency payments go......they pay us for everything!!!

I sell Rockett Brand and have never had a problem with fuel check. It's a hell of alot cheaper than VP and makes more power on the dyno. All of my customers love it and it is very consistent. Hey Bryan...call me, I might have a deal for you...443-207-2961.

My original post was not about performance it was about bending us over the fence because they can by gouging on fuel prices..I just think we are getting screwed.The idea of a track raising a price 2.00 per gallon from an already high price just to nip the sportsmen racers who are traveling in some cases hundreds of miles to get to a track just says to me screw you racer you are dog ****.We can make a difference there is strength in numbers.Call ahead find out what they are going to charge if it is over 8.00 per gallon dont buy it there bring your own.

Thanks

If they can't make money off the spectators, they think they have to make it off the racers!! If it wasn't for us, there would be no race tracks!! If everyone would get fuel from a dealer, maybe they would get the hint! But, as long as they are selling it, they will keep the price up!!

All we need to do is organize and we can do it through this web site.
